"Karen"
I do the "eh" thing sometimes without thinking about it but I agree with you, I don't like being on the other end of it either. I'm trying to work on that
I unreasonably hate the word "moreover". I see no reason why you wouldn't use the words "also", "additionally", or even "furthermore" that sound way better when read.
"Folks" makes my skin crawl. I feel like it's used to make someone appear friendlier while saying "you people", in the context of being manipulated by someone with power.
"Hence why"
Syntactically makes no sense. Just say "that's why," that's what you are trying to say.

Using the phrase "serious question" or "honest question" will make me immediately assume your question is the exact opposite of that. Probably I'm overreacting, but expecting that anyone might respect that declaration you've made about your own question, that gives me narcissist vibes.

It could become accurate. I mean, with global warming and extreme weather increasing.
Coffe-shop barista voice.
You all know what I mean: that 'I'm trying to make my voice croak but can't manage it." intonation.
I hate this too.
βNot meβ doing something.
Just say youβre doing something, and accept that it may be a bit hypocritical or shameful that youβre doing it.
